Now that things are rapidly greening up outside, I'm finding myself newly inspired by the hue - only a little deeper, a little darker - and it goes so well with some brass or gold thrown in for good measure.

17th Century floral wallpaper from a London house
(take a look at all of the gorgeous specimens of wallpaper found as
well as the assortment of objects the owner found under the floorboards
while renovating - fascinating!)

Oh how I have neglected my poor little blog. Life has been busy! However, the light is returning; days are longer and perhaps I will find my outward voice again. Meanwhile, the snowdrops have pushed through and four year old likes to squish them when we come upon clusters during our walks to preschool.

We set up some crystal-growing experiments...super excited about these ones.

No running in the halls!

Thoroughly enjoying sewing for my shop.

And my lovely witch hazel tree that B bought me last Christmas is in full bloom. Eclectic mix of images - but such is the way these days.
